C694 Jing Hongguang's Suspicions Were Unfounded

All of this was just Lee Zhuohua's speculation. He did not have sufficient evidence to prove that the matter was as he had imagined. However, he was still suspicious of Jing Jingxuan in his heart. He left with large strides, walked out of the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace, and headed towards Marquis Ling Wu's residence.

......

Jing Jingxuan did not know whether Lee Zhuohua had seen anything from him, but he needed to follow the will of the Demon Lord and make a trip to the places of the Almighty in the depths of the Imperial Palace. He needed to figure out whether the experts in this world still had any means to communicate with the Upper Realm.

This was extremely important to the Demon Lord, so Jing Jingxuan naturally did not dare to hesitate.

He headed for the thatched cottage in the depths of the Imperial Palace. Along the way, he passed through numerous palaces and encountered many guards, but none of them dared to stop him. Before he confirmed who the new Imperial Emperor Gu Yang was, Jing Jingxuan's identity was ultimately related to the Crown Prince. No one could guarantee that he wouldn't be able to ascend to the throne in the future.

However, when he arrived in front of the thatched cottage, he was still stopped. The ones who stopped him were not the guards, but Jing Hongguang and the others.

Because the forbidden people were discussing how to deal with the Demon Lord and the others in the thatched cottage, this was something that concerned the safety of the entire three great realms. Thus, the contents of their conversation were not allowed to be leaked out, so the three Almighty experts volunteered to guard the outside of the thatched cottage.

In fact, with these three Almighty here, there would be no need to worry that anyone else would come here, but when Jing Hongguang saw the arrival of Jing Jingxuan, he was still a little surprised.

Although he was the old ancestor of Gu Yang, an Almighty, he was also Jing Jingxuan's grandfather. However, there wasn't much affection between him and his own grandson. Even the death of his own son, Jing Canghai, in the midst of the chaos of the Demon Lord, could not cause a ripple in his heart, let alone facing his own grandson.

"Jing Xuan, what are you doing here?" Jing Hongguang frowned and asked Jing Jingxuan doubtfully.

Feng San and Yun Lan, who were beside him, also noticed Jing Hongguang's arrival when they heard his words. They looked over.

Jing Jingxuan had planned to enter the thatched cottage to find out what those forbidden people were talking about, but he did not expect to encounter Jing Hongguang and the others outside the thatched cottage. Although he was a little annoyed, he did not reveal any clues in front of the three Almightys.

"Granddad, I was just worried about Gu Yang and wanted to see if there was a way to deal with the invader. " Jing Jingxuan's face revealed a trace of worry, and his tone was filled with worry about the matter of the Demon Lord.

The three of them did not feel anything wrong when they heard what he said. As members of the Gu Yang Imperial Family, it was good that they cared about Gu Yang. They would not reprimand him, but they would not let Jing Jingxuan enter the thatched cottage, so as not to disturb the forbidden existences.

"You don't have to worry about Gu Yang. We have a way to deal with that demon, and this isn't a place for you to come. You should get out of here." Jing Hongguang did not soften his tone just because this was his grandson, but instead spoke like this.

Hearing what Jing Hongguang said, Jing Jingxuan knew in his heart that he would have to return empty-handed this time. Although he wanted to know if these people had any means to communicate with the Upper Realm, he could not force his way in to prevent them from finding any clues.

"Grandson understands." The expression on Jing Jingxuan's face was still worried. As he spoke, he obediently turned around and left.

After Jing Jingxuan left, the two of them moved closer to Jing Hongguang.

"Brother Jing, your grandson is concerned about the safety of Gu Yang. Although he is still young and his cultivation is insufficient, he has a sense of benevolence in his heart. I think he is a suitable candidate for you, the Imperial Emperor Gu Yang." Feng San said to Jing Hongguang. He was confused by Jing Jingxuan's appearance.

Hearing that, Jing Hongguang only nodded his head. As a member of the royal family, he was the most familiar with hiding what he was thinking and revealing what others wanted to see.

He did not increase his impression of Jing Jingxuan because of Feng San's words. When Jing Jingxuan was talking to him just now, he felt that his grandson's arrival was not as simple as he had said, but he also did not know why the other party had come here.

"It's hard to say. I don't know much about this grandson of Brother Jing's, but when he was speaking, I felt as if there wasn't the slightest ripple in his heart." At this moment, Yun Lan spoke. Unlike Feng San, he was not confused by Jing Jingxuan's appearance, but instead saw that something was amiss.

Jing Hongguang didn't say anything about this, but he felt as if something about his grandson had changed, causing him to be unable to see clearly.

He did not connect the matter between Jing Jingxuan and the Demon Lord, but he still felt a trace of doubt towards Jing Jingxuan. However, this trace of doubt was not because he suspected that Jing Jingxuan had any ill intentions, but because he suspected that the other party was really worried about what had happened to Gu Yang recently.

......

After Jing Jingxuan returned from Jing Hongguang's place, his face darkened. He had not completed the task that the Demon Lord had given him, which made him very unhappy, but he still needed to inform the Demon Lord of his actions.

He went straight back to his palace and drove the guards out of it, then went alone to his study.

Once he arrived, the elegance on his body completely disappeared. Instead, there was a kind of coldness that made people feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, a wave of hidden fluctuations came from the study room, from which the aura of the Demon Lord flowed out.

"How is it, have you found out?" The Demon Lord's voice suddenly sounded at this moment, echoing in the study.

When Jing Jingxuan heard the voice, the gloominess on his face quickly disappeared. He raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.

"I was stopped by Gu Yang's Almighty, so I did not come into contact with those forbidden figures, but I have a guess that if they still have the ability to communicate with the Upper Realm, then they must have done it the first time you showed up, instead of waiting until now. The last time you descended to Gu Yang, they could have brought the gods of the Upper Realm down to deal with us, so why do they have to keep on discussing how to deal with us like this? "Although Jing Jingxuan did not enter the cottage to see those forbidden people, he has been staying in Gu Yang for a long time and is very clear about the current situation of Gu Yang. He told Demon Lord about his guess.

The Demon Lord did not say a word after listening to his report. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, and the study fell silent for a moment.

After a long time.

"When I was sealed, I could feel the fluctuations of the gods from the Upper Realm. At that time, they communicated with the Upper Realm in order to suppress the Demon Race, so the gods from the Upper Realm appeared very quickly. Although it was only for a moment, I could still feel that the cultivation of the so-called gods was not much different from mine."

"If they could really get the god to come down again, it would be a problem for me, but what you say makes sense. If they had the means to do so, they wouldn't have waited until now."

Demon Lord's voice slowly sounded. Although it was just his guess as to the current situation of the forbidden figures, his guess was not wrong. The Qian Yuan Academy had long lost the method to communicate with the gods of the Upper Realm.

And this method of communicating with the gods of the Upper Realm was also passed down by Heavenly Monarch Ling Song. In fact, it was the Receiving Technique. The so-called gods of the Upper Realm were actually experts of the Heavenly Faction. With a cultivation similar to the Demon Lord, the person who was received should also be of the same generation as Lee Zhuohua.
